The Original Loretta Brown Show

Parents around the world are constantly searching for guidance to navigate the unpredictable journey of raising children. But what happens when life doesn’t go as planned? When challenges arise—whether it’s a child facing illness, bullying, or academic struggles—how can parents find the strength to remain hopeful? How do they sleep at night, knowing the world can be so uncertain, especially when their children are vulnerable to threats like terrorism or mass shootings in schools? Confronted with these types of difficult issues, it’s often challenging to maintain a positive outlook. We can all feel discouraged when the unknown makes us think, “If things aren’t good today, they won’t get better in the future.”
This is why bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and podcaster Allison Carmen’s new audiobook, Maybe Everything is Okay: A Parent’s Guide to Less Stress and Worry (September 17, 2024; Tantor Audio Original; narrated by Kim Niemi), is both important and timely. It offers parents a powerful and uplifting tool called the “Maybe mindset” to help them navigate the unknown with greater ease and renewed hope.
Whether a child is 2 or 22, or even has children of their own, this audiobook provides parents with a resilient mindset that will support them throughout their child’s entire life journey. Perhaps most importantly, Maybe Everything is Okay also equips parents with the tools to pass this invaluable perspective onto their children, helping them navigate their own challenges with more confidence and hope.
Maybe Everything is Okay is more than just an audiobook—it’s a lifelong companion for parents, offering a mindset that transforms fear into possibility and stress into resilience. Embracing the power of Maybe allows parents to approach each moment with their children with calm and openness, paving the way for a future filled with unexpected joys and opportunities.
Discover how the concept of Maybe can change everything. For your children, and for you, Maybe the best is yet to come!

Today, Loretta welcomes back Wayne R. Cesaro who is a U.S. Navy veteran who rose to the rank of Master Mariner, spending decades navigating the world’s oceans while also exploring the deeper mysteries of life. His journey spans an extraordinary range of experiences — from commanding ships at sea to teaching Information Technology and Management Information Systems, building Seattle’s maritime education program, and working in high-tech leadership.
Yet beneath this grounded and accomplished life runs another current — a lifelong awareness of the unseen.
Wayne’s book, Spirit Guides and Angels: Death and Taxes, is a deeply honest and compelling account of a life lived between worlds. Through vivid storytelling, he shares experiences of divine protection, intuitive knowing, out-of-body awareness, and encounters with spiritual guidance that have shaped his path.
His work bridges the mystical and the practical, offering readers a grounded understanding of how spirit communicates — not in grand gestures alone, but through subtle nudges, synchronicities, and everyday moments of awareness.

Today, Loretta welcomes Nitasia Roland who is a writer, poet, digital artist, independent researcher, and publisher of esoteric works through her indie press, Urania Press. With an interdisciplinary master’s degree in English, poetry, printmaking, and design, and an MFA in creative writing, her work sits at the crossroads of art, literature, mysticism, and symbolic philosophy.
For over twenty-five years she has explored the Western Esoteric Tradition, Hermeticism, mythology, divination, synchro mysticism, and poetic trance as pathways to deeper understanding of the symbolic imagination. Her creative works include several Tarot and oracle decks such as Tarot Chimera, Starlore Astronomical Tarot, Terra Incognita Oracle, Astronomia Oracle, and the widely celebrated Tarot Emblemata deck.
Tarot Emblemata uniquely revives the symbolic tradition of Renaissance emblem books, drawing from 16th-century French historian Claude Paradin’s Devises Heroïques, aligning those enigmatic emblems with the Major and Minor Arcana of Tarot.
Through this fusion of historical imagery and archetypal symbolism, Roland’s work invites readers into contemplative dialogue with the mysteries of myth, spirit, and imagination.
